Overnight Delivery From Am-Tran

Am-Tran has a number of San Fransisco Courier, freight and delivery solutions that will allow our customers to find the balance that they require between the speed of the delivery and the cost to them. As most people know, the faster you want something delivered, the more it can cost. The decision of whether time or money is more important is something that the individual shipping company has to decide. Am-Tran has made it our goal to provide great service to our customers, regardless of which priority is more important to them. 
 
Same day shipping has become an industry standard service, and Am-Tran has done our best to make sure that we can provide this option to our customers. Same-day freight is available. We are also pleased to announce a new delivery option, which can provide customers with a very fast delivery at a much more affordable rate. 
 
This new service is Am-Tran’s Overnight Delivery Service, which is available Monday through Friday (this service does not include weekend deliveries). This delivery method will guarantee that deliveries are made by the next day rather than the day of pickup. This is still a very fast delivery time; more than adequate to meet most expedited shipping needs. The benefit though, is that our Overnight Service is available at a significantly lower rate than our same day service. For someone that is interested in helping to control costs at their organization as much as possible, the use of next day delivery service is something that could keep your customers happy with fast deliveries, while still helping you save money.

Our Employees Make the Difference!

Successes that any business enjoys is directly dependent upon the type of people employed conducting daily operations. This is why it is extremely important that you understand the type of people employed by whatever San Fransisco courier service you wish to hire.
 
Tradition of Excellence

At Am-Tran/K&L Trucking, a 30-year tradition providing the most reliable and dependable courier, warehousing, delivery, freight services in the Bay Area and throughout California has been dependent upon the ability to select qualified personnel, train them sufficiently and consistently while providing safe and secured working environments. Most company drivers are uniformed employees enjoying great benefits. And, unlike other companies who hire independent carriers that are barely getting by on what training is offered, Am-Tran/K&L independent carriers are uniformed and thoroughly trained as well.
 
Passion for Performance

Through the application of a comprehensive and thorough training program, Am-Tran/K&L employees tackle each and every assignment with a passion for quality performance regardless of the size and type – whether a medical delivery from a laboratory to a physician or transporting a semi full of construction materials from a warehouse to a building site. Drivers receive the proper training qualifying them to handle hazardous and bio-hazardous materials so they are TSA (Transportation Security Administration) certified. Am-Tran/K&L provides employees with the most up-to-date and sophisticated equipment allowing them to operate in a safe and secure manner.
 
Additionally, the use of today’s modern technology allows customers to always be able to track transported goods electronically throughout the entire process from pickup to delivery.

Restructured Pricing

In an effort to simplify our pricing, Am-Tran has restructured the way we calculate courier charges.  Gone are the surcharges associated with multiple boxes and extra weight. Now, regardless of the box count, the base charge will remain the same up to 150lbs, and if it goes beyond that, the charge is a flat $10 per 150lbs.
 
Within San Francisco there are now two zones:  the Downtown Core and San Francisco Limited.  Within downtown, base service charges are as follows:  2 hours, $10; 1 hour $12.50; 30 minutes, $15. Outside of the downtown core, but with San Francisco delivery, the base charges are as follows:  3 hours, $13.50; 1 hour, $20.25.  
 
Outside San Francisco, the base charges which include the first 12 miles:  Same Day Service, $25; Priority Service, $31.25; Direct Service, $37.50; After Hours Service, $50.  The exact delivery times will vary depending on the distance and time, however you can count on the customer service rep providing you with a reliable estimate at the time the order is placed.  Beyond the 12 mile zone, additional mileage charges apply depending on the class of service.
 
These changes will take place effective April 16, 2010. We at Am-Tran are dedicated to making the delivery process as simple and transparent as possible.  If you have any questions or thoughts on how we can improve the way we do business, we’d love to talk to you.

TSA Certified Drivers

Am-Tran Courier Service is now one of the only couriers in the Bay Area to employ TSA certified drivers.  Why do we employ TSA certified drivers?  Because every shipment is our most important shipment, and lesser qualifications just do not offer the guarantee of professionalism that you find with TSA.  In addition, all of our drivers have received training on the transportation of hazardous materials and biohazardous cargo. Our drivers have proven their mettle and dedication to their trade by earning these distinctions.  Combine this with the fact that all drivers are equipped with equipment allowing shipments to be tracked from pickup to destination, and you can be sure that your cargo is in good hands.
 
Many of our customers are not aware that we also now offer air and ocean transport services, in addition to our traditional ground-based services.  We are a full service carrier that can handle your shipment from end to end, anywhere on Earth.  Whether it is shipping an important legal document across town, or a medical courier service to an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, Am-Tran can take care of it for you.  Finally, Am-Tran has its own Bay Area warehouse, allowing us to giving you the “hands-off” option, where we not only deliver your shipments, but store the materials until you are ready to ship them.  This option makes sense for many customers who do not want the overhead of warehousing their own products.
